31. At the beginning of the school year (i.e. in September) arrangements for physical training were extended so as to comprise all classes in all provided urban schools for boys and girls, British and Anglo-Chinese, and the Grant-in-aid Schools were formally notified that in so far as they had not already done so they would be required to take similar steps within a delay of one year as a condition of Grant.

33. A Syndicate was created under the Presidency "ex-officio" of the Director and the Chairmanship of an Inspector of English Schools for the control of the new School Certificate Examination. In addition to the heads of participating provided schools, invitations to participate and become members were accepted by the heads of all English Grant-in-aid Schools and of St. Stephen's Boys School (which is exempt from the control of the Director).

35. Consequent upon the contraction of the ordinary course in the upper school from three years to two all Upper School Scholarships in the control of the Director hitherto of three years duration have been limited to two years; the Director retaining discretion to redistribute among such as pass the Class 2 Examination and desire to enter a University.
